Flamengo's U-16 team already knows the day, time, location and opponent for their first game in 2024. The Ninho Boys start the season looking to win the Copa Olaria Renovado for the second time, and their first match against the home team will be on the 29th, at 08 am on Rua Bariri.

Mengão is in the same group as Olaria, Serrano, and Botafogo. Vasco, Fluminense, Cabofriense, and Volta Redonda complete the other group. This will be the first test for coach Eduardo Zuma, who has already begun preparing for the competition with the 2008 generation. Check out Flamengo's schedule.
